poking the belly

Is it safe to poke my belly to get the baby to move? I read it can stress him out, but I also read its fine unless it hurts me than its not hurting the baby

Its absolutely adorable. If I were having a boy his name would have been Wade Allan. Wade because of a family friend who passed away years ago by wrapping his car around a tree. Allan because I didn't like any other middle name

Her name is Arabella Rose. Arabella means answered prayer. She brought me back to Texas and saved me from my ex. And brought me to my new man, who already considers her his own

My senior year I fell hard three times in a row. My mom didn't take me to the er. I hit my head and torso on my mom's minivan and concrete. Lets just say that one rib has never been the same. That's why it hurts so badly when she kicks it. I know she kicks it cause my doctor said that she is head down right now lol

I poke mine and sometimes just push a little bit but not too hard to get him moving or just to feel where he is. It's fine the doctors will start to push on your stomach to feel where the baby is too. Mine does anyway

My doctor told me he's facing towards my right rib. That's the only one he's on and when he's pressing against it there's no moving him lol unless I put something cold on my belly but that's where he sits lmao :D
